The Shuttle launched today? How can we be sure the shuttle really launched and they are trying to pull another fast one over us like they did telling us they landed on the moon?

Yeah, the fuel tank shot was cool. Can't wait till we see the shots from the docking with the space station.

Cforst, yes, it is. Incredible sight. SRBs lit, smoke clouds on the ground, shuttle lift-off, watching it go behind a cloud and re-emerge, sound about 30-45 seconds later.

Just south of Charleston, SC on our way to southern Florida at 35,000 feet...we had a great view from our cockpit...
